As I mentioned in my solo, during 2024, I played with this idea
and had big breaks in between drinks. I really took notice of how
I felt after every time I re-introduced alcohol into my life, and
I found that the cons outweighed the pros every time.

I want to say first and foremost that I would never ever judge
anyone for drinking, this is just my own experience that I wanted
to share for anyone who is sober curious or just wants to reduce
their alcohol consumption.

Since New York in October I haven’t had a drink, and I have never
felt better. Over the silly season their were so many moments I
could of drank, but honestly I have had so much fun going out,
dancing and connecting without the alcohol. Being ok with being
sober definitely took some time. I had an real moment at Bernie’s
wedding when I wasn’t drinking, but still had the best time with
everyone who was. I felt so happy by the music, the energy and
the love in the room and I really thought ok right, this is the
moment I stop drinking because I truely don’t need it.

Another factor adding to this choice was acne flare up a few
months ago. I had to reduce my sugar consumption and make other
big life changes. Reducing stress and getting off the booze has
significantly cleared my skin. This was a direct message from my
body to stick to the habits that had me feeling my best.

I also feel like I have just grown out of the party phase in my
life. I am 30 this year and I can really feel this shift in me
that I am craving quality time with fewer people, rather than
just small chat with big groups. I am so much more drawn to a
slower pace of life.

On today’s episode I am going to talk about 5 learnings I’ve had
since taking away alcohol into my life. I have really seen a big
sober movement and it is super exciting to see.
